Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom

After Mrs Figg's magical school suffers damage, a cake stall is set up to fund the necessary repairs. But no one can eat the cakes prepared by Queen Thistle, as they are inedible, ultimately putting the fundraising stall at risk.

The Queen Bakes Cakes is a programme presented as an episode within its series. It falls under the broader genre of episodic television, offering a self‑contained story that fits within the format of a single broadcast installment. In this episode, the magical academy run by Mrs Figg has suffered damage, prompting the staff and pupils to devise a fundraising scheme. To gather the necessary resources for repairs, they set up a stall selling cakes, hoping the venture will generate enough money to restore the school’s facilities. The cake stall’s main attraction is meant to be the confections prepared by Queen Thistle herself. However, a snag quickly emerges: despite the queen’s reputation, none of her cakes prove edible, rendering the central product of the fundraiser essentially useless. Consequently, the inability to consume Queen Thistle’s cakes threatens the success of the fundraising effort. The episode follows the characters as they confront this unexpected obstacle while still aiming to secure the funds required to mend the damaged magic school.
